    It's official, health authorities can order vaccination for those unvaccinated.
    First on Mexico City (CDMX) but eventually they will extend to all the country.

    Infection-enhancing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize both the original Wuhan/D614G strain and Delta variants. A potential risk for mass vaccination?

    Found this website recently.
    It has a lot of information regarding Covid-19.

    Ivermectin
    https://ivmmeta.com/

    HCQ
    https://c19hcq.com/

    Vitamin D
    https://c19vitamind.com/

    I have no way of knowing if the information is valid or factual.
    But from the depth of information it seems to be legit.

    Comments are welcome.

    vladnil and X, you should have a head-together and agree on the attacking line, re. the link from Guardian on Pollard's current views... Understanding the article should really be a LOT better, though...

    @Yen, sorry but I can't agree with you on these twists and turns. I am even more vehement when it comes to holding Gov to account. But one must put all that assessment into it's proper context.

    Was there an alternative, given the scale of the issue(s), the pressure everyone was under? Frankly, it was close to a miracle, what was done in such a short period!

    Which is rather a good thing! We can do a lot, given the resources... And if we divert them from destructions to construction...

    This story is NOT necessarily a bad episode in many ways...

    P.S. You should be a lot more consistent...

    The world is nowhere near the end of the Covid pandemic, says famed epidemiologist Larry Brilliant
    • The Covid-19 pandemic is not coming to an end soon, said Larry Brilliant, a top epidemiologist.
    • Brilliant, part of the World Health Organization team that helped eradicate smallpox, said the delta variant of coronavirus is “maybe the most contagious virus” ever.
    • Only 15% of the world’s population has gotten a Covid vaccine.
    Covid delta variant may be the most contagious virus we’ve seen: Epidemiologist

    The pandemic is not coming to an end soon — given that only a small proportion of the world population has been vaccinated against Covid-19, a well-known epidemiologist told CNBC.

    Dr. Larry Brilliant, an epidemiologist who was part of the World Health Organization’s team that helped eradicate smallpox, said the delta variant of the coronavirus is “maybe the most contagious virus” ever.

    In recent months, the U.S., India and China, as well as other countries in Europe, Africa and Asia have been grappling with a highly transmissible delta variant of the virus.

    WHO declared Covid-19 a global pandemic last March — after the disease, which first emerged in China in late 2019, spread throughout the world.

    The good news is that vaccines — particularly those using messenger RNA technology and the one by Johnson & Johnson — are holding up against the delta variant, Brilliant told CNBC’s “Street Signs” on Friday.

    Unless we vaccinate everyone in 200 plus countries, there will still be new variants.

    “I think we’re closer to the beginning than we are to the end [of the pandemic], and that’s not because the variant that we’re looking at right now is going to last that long,” said Brilliant, who is now the founder and CEO of a pandemic response consultancy, Pandefense Advisory.

    “Unless we vaccinate everyone in 200 plus countries, there will still be new variants,” he said, predicting that the coronavirus will eventually become a “forever virus” like influenza.

    Probability of ‘super variant’
    Brilliant said his models on the Covid outbreak in San Francisco and New York predict an “inverted V-shape epidemic curve.” That implies that infections increase very quickly, but would also decline rapidly, he explained.

    If the prediction turns out be true, it means that the delta variant spreads so quickly that “it basically runs out of candidates” to infect, explained Brilliant.

    There appears to be a similar pattern in the U.K. and India, where the spread of the delta variant has receded from recent highs.

    I thought this was supposed to be the"serious" discussion pinky?! You need to get this back on track. It's more like a gossip column now!
